While the patriarch had spiritual leadership over the Orthodox Church, the emperor could influence church appointments and decisions, effectively intertwining political and religious power.

Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire, which arose from the eastern part of the Roman Empire after its division. Founded by Emperor Constantine the Great in 330 AD, the city became a major cultural and economic center, reflecting the empire’s blend of Roman and Greek influences. The Byzantine Empire, known for its Christian orientation, governance, and art, thrived in Constantinople until its fall in 1453. Thus, Constantinople served as the heart of Byzantine power and culture.
